Suicide is not an unforgivable sin.

Romans 8:30, “Those whom he predestined he also called, and those whom he called he also justified, and those whom he justified he also glorified.”

Suicide is not an unforgivable sin. The unforgivable sin is unbelief (Luke 12:10). As long as he is predestined by God, he will be called, he will believe, and he will be justified and glorified. There is no “but”, no exception in between.

The Law

The Law proves that sinners have no free will. Sinners have free will to sin, but no free will to keep the Law. “The point is not that you’ve sinned, but you’ve never done anything but sin.”
 
Everyone is a sinner (Romans 3:2).
Everyone is DEAD in sin (Romans 6:23).
No one can keep the Law (Romans 3:20).
Even our righteous acts are like filthy rags to God. (Isaiah 64:6).
The Law reminds about sin (Romans 7:7).
The Law in the OT is a shadow of Jesus (Hebrews 10).
So when Jesus came, He fulfilled the Law for us (Matthew 5:17).
 
Salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone (Ephesians 2:8, Galatians 2:16).

Did God harden Pharaoh’s heart?

“Harden” means refusing to repent. God allowed Pharaoh’s heart to be hardened. It is sin that hardened a sinner’s heart against God. God did not make Pharaoh against God Himself.

Likewise, today if a sinner goes to hell, it is because of his sins; but if a sinner repents, it is because of God’s grace.

1 Samuel 6:6, “Why should you harden your hearts as the Egyptians and Pharaoh hardened their hearts?”
